Jaga (born August 30, 1991) is a young grey vixen and furry lifestyler who lives in the United States. Jaga considers herself a Therian from birth and has always thought of herself as an animal, specifically a Gray Fox, which was the reasoning behind choosing a grey fox as her fursona. As for the purple coloring, purple has always been one of Jaga's favorite colors. She feels as if it symbolizes her Spirituality, mysterious personality, and animalistic Transformations. The study of Color Symbolism has always played an important part in her choices in art and characters. As for her name, it comes from the tag on a plush red fox she received at the age of 6, whose tag read "JAGA". She liked the name so much she decided to use it for herself.

[edit] Involvement in the Furry Fandom
Jaga has been involved with the furry fandom for over five years now, having attended many meets and conventions in her time. In addition to attending quite a few conventions and furmeets, Jaga also served as staff at FA: United 4 and Furstivus, the latter of which featured her artwork on the official con badge. Since joining FurAffinity in 2007, Jaga has accumulated over 3500 follwers, and over fifty-thousand pageviews, due in part to the consistent upload of artwork on her part.
Around 2008, Jaga became a member of Furry4Life, a social network for furry lifestylers. In August of 2011, Jaga was appointed an administrator by Shy Matsi[1], the owner of Furry4Life. Jaga is also staff on Weasyl, an upcoming art gallery site, where she'll serve as a moderator.
[edit] Conventions/meets
Jaga has attended and plans to attend many conventions including Anthrocon, FurFright, Fur Affinity: United, Furry Weekend Atlanta and Furstivus. Jaga also attends many local events including every Delaware Furbowl since Furbowl 14 in 2009, and attended New Years Furry Ball in its 2010-2011 iteration. She also has hosted many furmeets at her own home and plans to do more in the future.

Jaga's fursona was first created as a childhood role-playing type of character at the age of 6. Her original look was supposed to be that of a traditional natural Gray Fox but when she decided to add the purple hair and tail markings a bit later, she decided to remove the orange markings that real Gray Foxes have. She felt that this would artistically translate better. Thus today's Jaga GreyFox was born.
Jaga's description of herself:
What makes me a grey fox? The grey fox, also known as the island fox needs a warm sunny climate. I myself am affected negatively by icky weather, and hate the cold. Grey foxes are going extinct fast. They are hard to find even in their native areas. Like the grey fox, I have a hard time finding others like me, unless they are just putting on that fake front. Like foxes in general I don't have a group. I hate packs and groups and rather travel alone, other than my mate. Much like fairytale foxes I have an odd sense of humor and a good knack for being a trickster. I am swift both with my words, mind, and movements and when I do not want to be found it takes a lot to track me down. The grey fox itself has a strange pelt compared to all the other foxes, I also like to be creative and wear odd clothing mixtures, and I have a style of my own. Like all foxes, I am also more active a night. Grey foxes are also the most silent of the foxes, they bark occasionally but not near as loud or often as arctic or reds. As for me, I am quiet unless I feel threatened, or if I trust you. The most obvious connection yet is that both me and grey foxes are omnivores, eating both meat and plants yummy ^_^. My fursona (grey fox) plays a huge role in my furry life style. The info above and much more connect me to the grey fox. [2]
[edit] Fursuiting
Jaga's fursuit was made by two different people; the first fursuit was built by fursuit maker NightFell, having received it in April of 2011. The fursuit was first debuted at FA: United 4, and has made consistent appearances at the Delaware Furbowls from the twenty-sixth iteration, until around October of 2011, when a new head was made for the suit by ShadowSani, giving the suit a more feminine appearance. Outside of fursuiting at various meets and conventions, Jaga also suits at charity events and childrens' hospitals.[3]. To accommodate the frequency of her fursuitting endeavors, Jaga has a separate FA account for all photos involving her fursuit.[4]
[edit] Personal life
Jaga is also a college student studying Art at Kutztown University. Some of her favorite hobbies are creating art, playing World of Warcraft, volunteering, going ghost hunting, attending furry events, travelling and exploring her spirituality.
